How do Nordland, the Wasteland and Kislev do it?

By being unified states with the backing of much larger powers invested in seeing them take the brunt of the punishment so others don't have to.

Better question: How can be Norsca so strong all the time despite boarding at the fucking chaos waste?

>unified states with the backing of much larger powers invested in seeing them take the brunt of the punishment so others don't have to
>Marienburg and Kislev

The city-states have big fucking walls and not!greek fire and enough money to hire mercenary armies to protect them, while the !norse dudes are disparate and underequipped even if terrifyingly big guys.

And having a food supply that's 100% animal based.
Seriously what the fuck do the smaller animals even eat? Food chains don't work like this.

Hello there Kislev.

What if city-states are giga niggers too?

Let not!norse settle on nice fat lands you own and recognize their leaders as nobility, on the condition that they help fight off other not!norse.

A powerful middle class born by the trade and peace between the other states has made it so they are much more technologically advanced than the militant enemies who can't into development.

Faith, steel and gunpowder

>not!norse settle your lands
>More not!norse show up and team up with settled not!norse
>You are now besieged by land and sea

Shit plan user

Shoot Norscans more betterer, obviously. Like, right in the fucking face.

>even if terrifyingly big guys
4 U

Better idea, we need to eat their hearts and obtain their not!norseness so that we can fight them off for being less not!norse than us.

>What is the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte

>hire mercenary armies to protect them
So hiring not!norse to protect you from not!norse?

Exactly

Didn't the Vikings trade stuff?

A loose alliance where while one city-state is being raided, the rest all counter-raid not!norsca and give some of their loot to the defender city-state as payment for creating the opportunity for the counter-raids and help them rebuild so they can participate in the next set of counter-raids and pay it back if they're not the targets of the not!norscans the next time.

Norse outside of Norseca don't like their kinsmen.

>How could a bunch of city-states survive if their neighbor is not!norsca?
by not being bitch made niggers like the empire?

norsca are just crazy viking people, get your people to work out a bunch and you'll do fine

unironically this

just get more swole than them

Marienburg has so far only survived by being an extremely new political entity (90 years) during an era of relative peace and prosperity. They'd become Praag 2.0 if they were around during the Great War Against Chaos.

>Nordland

Regularly gets sacked, but by virtue of being more united with a more sophisticated technology and economic base, rebounds. Sometimes it launches raids on Norsca.

>Kislev

Difficult to cross, highly mobile culture that emphasizes horses. The native spellcasters tap relatively save magic.

>Wasteland

Marienburg licks elf cock, and they help protect their investment. Marienburg itself has a considerable merchant navy and the benefit of the Imperial Navy being mostly docked there.

Chaos energies replace the sun.

They don't.
They didn't.
Chaos won. Did you forget?

Nah, but the ending was so goddamn boring that most people ignore it in favor of leaving it open-ended forever.

Says something, that does.

Didn't you like "and so Chaos very stronk make pâté and shit"?

Have you heard of a thing known as "Chaos bullshit"?
